Pete Fuller completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Fuller's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Inclusive Jackson County - Representing the entirety of the county and problems that affect people today.
- Rural Broadband - Working on solutions to the last mile problem and increasing competition in less populated areas
- Expanded Rural Healthcare - expanding medicaid and bringing down costs for all Georgians
It is time to take the burden off of struggling families, and put it onto the large businesses. If these firms pay their fair share, we can fund our rural schools past the decades-old QBE formula, bringing in much-needed resources. If the county wasn't dependent on property taxes to fund schools, then working-class families would be able to afford to buy homes here, where they protect our streets and educate our kids.
As your state representative, I will work to protect the needs of families over the interests of huge corporations.
Medical - Georgia's rural hospitals have been underfunded and closing for years now under Republican leadership. I believe that no one should stay sick because they are poor, and no one should be poor because they got sick.
I'm always awed by the life of John Lewis as well. Such passion at a young age. Such a firm commitment to things he believed in and unwillingness to accept that change should wait. His entire career on into the modern day is a true inspiration.
In our rural areas we also have issues with the lack of reliable broadband internet. What once was a novelty has now become an essential part of many livelihoods. Education is becoming more and more dependent on the service as well. We once worked hard to electrify the rural south and it may be we can greater utilize those exact same resources to bring about real progress towards that new goal.
